SAP's ERP revolutionized the structure and process organization of many entrepreneurs. With Industry 4.0 and IoT, the next step follows in the direction of a holistic view of product, service and financial cycles. SAP partner GIB and parent company ifm are at the epicenter of this promising development.

Cloud or not cloud? This question arises for many companies when it comes to converting their ERP system. Cloud technology is seen as a driver of digitization - yet companies often shy away from the switch and overlook the benefits.

Supply chains are snagging and crunching - so much so that the gross national product is suffering as a result. What can and should manufacturing SAP users do to minimize disruptions in supply chains?

No crystal ball is needed to predict a successful future for SAP partner GIB, which will be called ifm in a few weeks.

There are new challenges in supply chain management: Cost and efficiency pressure to secure and expand one's competitive position; supplier failures and delivery bottlenecks; price sensitivity and demand fluctuations in the sales market.

Companies with multiple production sites are more challenged by globalized logistics processes. Inventory planning and uncertainties in supply and demand place high demands on SCM.

SAP partner GIB from Siegen selected the Supply Chain Heroes 2021 as part of its GIB SCM Awards.

Logistics with its complex supply structures is predestined for the use of artificial intelligence. What tasks are possible? E-3 spoke with Björn Dunkel, Managing Director of GIB, which offers software for intralogistics and combines it with expert knowledge and consulting.

Actually, there is still time until 2027, but many companies are already dealing with the SAP S/4 HANA Conversion. Although the new platform promises functional improvements in the ERP system and offers room for innovation, the associated effort is a headache.
